Implemented and pushed to:
https://github.com/CecilWesterhof/PythonLibrary/blob/master/filebasedMessages.py
Did some other optimisation's also. The function get_random_message
now calls get_indexed_message. Saves memory (on the old
implementation) and is more DRY.
I also enhanced get_nr_of_messages:
def get_nr_of_messages(message_filename):
i = -1
with open(expanduser(message_filename), 'r') as f:
for i, l in enumerate(f):
pass
return i + 1
Or can that be done better?
